What would we do without you, Sonny?

Unlike that loudmouth from the Dixie Chicks who ruined her career by doing just that

His response was along the lines of "I was raised a democrat and I'll always be a deomcrat." There was no mention as to whether that influence came from the politics of Mobile, Alabama (where he grew up), his family, etc. And more recently, he said he'd campaign in '06 for two people who are running for office. I believe one is a US Senator who he sees as a "good moderate voice in Congress."

I'm glad he's wise enough to keep politics out of his shows...regardless of his views.

Hi Alison,

I really don't know that much about Jimmy's early life( I'm sure that there are people who can quote chapter and verse about it) but I can identify with Jimmy's statement about "being raised a democrat and he will always be a democrat" because that is exactly the way I feel. That probably has to do with being first generation "MONEY". I am the product of very working class people and even if I had wealth( which I don't) I would still carry forward the values of my formative years.

If you look at the people who tend to be Republican from early on, their parents probably were also of the same cloth and the same goes for Democrats. IMHO being a Democrat today has become a stigma and the term liberal a reason for being attacked. I personally am happy that Jimmy and I also share political beliefs and well as his music and lifestyle choices.

Yeah, and one is musician Kinky Friedman, running for governor of Texas--actually, he's running as an independent "a pox on both their houses"....and is getting widespread support...right to left---hope he gets the signatures to get on the ballot so Jimmy can campaign for him...this should be a real fun campaign to watch!!!!!

If he got on the ballot, I'd take a weekend and go down to help with the campaign too.

I'm personally an open-minded republican from a traditionally blue state, but i'm kinda disappointed jimmy and i don't really share similar political views.
